Given a budget of up to £1500
What would you purchase for a fun car for weekends, occasional drive abouts etc.
been thinking of getting a cheap second car just for something different at the weekend rather than the boring daily car.
I understand that there isnt exactly a huge choice in this price range, and stuff will be likely to be a bit ropey but that does not bother me.

This looks good value. Should get close to budget/find a couple of hundred quid from somewhere. Great mileage if genuine.

I do like that a lot, Saab 900 Turbos are also tempting me as well.http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1560325.htm
There does seem to be a lot more interesting cars around this price range than I previously thought.

+1or maybe an early 90's Clio 16V - they can be a riot for little outlay
For under a grand a piece i have run a original Clio Williams and a Golf VR6. I had the Clio for over a year and currently have run the Golf for 9 months. Both cost very little to keep on the road and were / are very reliable.
Made a bit of money on the Williams and probably will do on the Golf when i come to sell due to some minor restoration etc.
